Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from November 18, 2022

Merrily We Roll Along is a mish-mash of high energy lunacy, reverence, and irreverence for forgotten pop stars, love for Saturday morning cartoons, and exploration of the side of Bandcamp where I seem to be the only one purchasing. Bringing to you the odd and the upbeat from a growing collection of pre-rock novelties, classic and neo-Vaudeville, jug bands, polka, klezmer, and more at the convenient hour of 8-9 AM EST, Merrily We Roll Along starts the day off with a little light-hearted musical tomfoolery cut with an occasional comedy sketch. It's organic, free-range, cheese with the occasional onion thrown in.

	7:59am Jan Turkenburg: Hi MHlee, see you WR!
	8:01am MHLee: Hi Jan!
	8:04am MHLee: Sounds like it's Curly Joe on this. They may have recorded it just for the album in the 1960s
	8:12am HyperDose: 💨🙂🙃🙂
	8:13am MHLee: Hello Hyperdose
	8:18am MHLee: Tiny Tim has a quote that goes something like "I'm the first has-been to ever play in the circus. Most artists play the circus then get famous."
	8:31am Jan Turkenburg: Besides clowns I hear some elephants passing by. At this moment I'm preparing tomorrow's playlist with Sabu the Elephant Boy a.o.
	8:34am MHLee: I was thinking about how proto-Spike Jones this one is
	8:41am Jan Turkenburg: Hey.... Stella Mayhew... that's somebody I ought to investigate as well
	8:43am MHLee: See must have recorded a lot
	8:46am Jan Turkenburg: Your show brightens up this cold and grey friday afternoon here, MHLee, thanks!
	8:47am MHLee: Thanks for listening, Jan!
	8:50am Jan Turkenburg: Pipo de Clown!
	8:50am Jan Turkenburg: I have at least one album of him and Mamaloe.
	8:51am MHLee: I found he had a long-running tv show
	8:51am Jan Turkenburg: Yes, I grew up with him
	8:52am Jan Turkenburg: I might just digitize what I got of Pipo on vinyl today
	8:53am Jan Turkenburg: There he is!
	8:53am Jan Turkenburg: Soundtrack of my early childhood.
	8:53am MHLee: It's not easy to find recordings of him on youtube. I'm not sure if this is the 1959 release or not.
	8:54am Jan Turkenburg: I think this must be from later
	👻 8:54am WR: Taking break from the clowns at work for a taste of the clown music on Sheena's,
	8:55am Jan Turkenburg: It's stereo and it's what I remember and we didn't get TV untill 1969
	8:55am MHLee: I figured it was probably later. The\is show seems roughly equivalent in time frame to Captain Kangeroo in the US
	8:59am HyperDose: Thanks for the hijinks, MHLee!
	8:59am MHLee: Thanks for listening Hyperdose!
	👻 9:00am WR: Great closers MHLee!

	10:06am Jan Turkenburg: Oh wait, THIS is how I remember the show began: youtu.be...
	👻 1:04am WR: Circus delights!
	👻 1:08am WR: The kids laughing on the 3 stooges selection had an unusual loop sound.
	👻 1:21am WR: Minus his "Tip Toe Through The Tulips" falsetto tune, the Tiny Tim medley sounds like something I would expect to hear on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Well should sleep and listen to the rest tomorrow.
	👻 8:36am WR: Listened to the rest after my rest. Thank you.
	1:17pm MHLee: Thanks for listening and the comments WR and Jan
